? Position coach: Kenny Carter, also the running backs coach, is in fourth season coaching special teams.

Strengths: Cardinals will have plenty of speed in return game, be it Clark on punts or Lamb on kickoffs. Wallace has two game-winning field goals to his credit.

Weaknesses: U of L allowed an average of 24.6 yards per kickoff return last year, including two TDs. It also ranked 112th in FBS in punting at 38.0 yards per kick.

Watch for: More experience should lead to better coverage. Carter said more starters will be used on kickoff coverage and tweaks have been made in the scheme.

Bottom line: Special teams were the weak link of the Cards last season, but don't expect a repeat. Carter believes the changes made during camp, along with more players with experience, will result in the unit improving as a whole.
